Introduced in the nineties, the first generation Subaru Impreza was a sedan, later it received a station wagon body and this composition was produced until 2007, when the hatchback was introduced. Since then, a hatchback and a sedan have been produced, but now in 2024, a time-change version has arrived again - now only the hatchback will be produced. This is due to the fact that hatchbacks are unequivocally more in demand in the compact car market of this class, and since the WRX versions are now separate models from Subaru, they are presented in the form of a sedan, which is what buyers are asking for. Along with the discontinuation of the Impreza sedan, the production of the manual gearbox was also discontinued. The Impreza is now only available with the Lineartronic CVT gearbox. At first glance, the new car looks like the first, but the car is completely new. The Impreza now has new LED headlights, the front grille no longer has a chrome surround, and the side air intakes in the front bumper are gone. In their place, Subaru installed black plastic elements with fog lights to decorate the front of the car. Maybe U-shaped rear lights, very similar to the ones we see in Renault, would really like something new and unique to Subaru. Depending on the trim level, the Impreza can have either gloss black or body-colored side mirrors, as well as a rear black roof spoiler and decorative tailgate. Body rigidity has been improved by ten percent, with more high-tensile steel used in critical areas. Interestingly, Subaru revived the Impreza RS, whose production was discontinued back in 2005. This version has a 2.5L port producing 182 hp (136 kW) of power and 241 Nm of torque and is paired with a Lineartronic CVT transmission that simulates an eight-speed automatic in manual mode. The Base and Sport models use the 2.0 L engine taken from the previous generation Impreza, which produces 152 hp (113 kW) of power and 197 Nm of torque. As usual, the Impreza is only available in all-wheel drive.
